I made arrangements to get this day off b/c Nationals only comes around once per year and I wouldn't miss the MENS for the world! And it just so happens that Pairs is also skating today, so I'm not going to miss them either, lol, especially my fav pair Donlan & Speroff, and I'm starting to really like that new pair of Andrea Poapst (her lines & the way she holds herself, right through to the fingertips, is astounding!). And of course there is the suspence & excitement of seeing whether Denney & Coughlin can overtake Marley & Brubaker, as well as Evora & Ladwig.

Anyhow, just watched the first group of pairs over on IN, not bad, love Peter Carruthers commentary btw. And now looking at the "Live Streaming Schedule of IN" it states that MENS will be starting here in 1 hr., 9:30AM PST/12:30PM EST (first 2 groups; final groups on your local NBC affiliate, ugh). And PAIRS (group 3) will be shown on IN at 11:30AM PST/2:30PM EST, with the final group being shown on your local NBC affiliate. :D

SO! Cain & Reagan have really put the pressure on by skating excellently! And Peter C. is a huge fan of Ashley Cain, and I can see why b/c she's a great jumper, competing both in singles & pairs, has helped the team tremendously!

OMG, I honestly felt like I was at the ballet (Peter C. we are simpatico, everything you say is what I'm thinking), the only thing they're going to get dinged on per usual is the jumps. :( Gretchen singled her 2A and they only did doubles, this is going to cost them. BUT WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!!!
